At BASF, we create more than just chemicals - we create chemistry. For over 50 years, we have worked
closely with industry stakeholders to enable successful sustainable construction projects. With BASF
chemistry, buildings can be more durable and require fewer resources for maintenance. Chemistry also
makes buildings more energy efficient, thus protecting our environment.
In BASF Performance Materials Construction, we continually strive to formulate high-quality sustainable
insulation products and systems that meet or exceed industry needs. By using HFO low-global warming
potential (low-GWP) blowing agent technology, our next generation closed-cell spray foam products
deliver a low environmental impact, along with our open-cell spray foam insulations.

Insulation. Air barrier. Vapor barrier. Drainage plane. One product…one application. Fully-tested and field-proven for commercial, single-family and multi-family residential construction.
Thanks to its 90% closed-cell content, the WALLTITE® system combines industry-leading air permeance ratings and a superior insulation R-value to make a significant contribution to building energy efficiency, while also providing an air and weather resistant barrier.
The WALLTITE® insulating air barrier system:
Eliminates uncontrolled air leakage
Improves occupant comfort, health and safety
Improves indoor environmental quality
Improves structural strength
Reduces condensation, moisture and mold problems
Conforms to any shape
Is approved by the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA) to meet the mandated air barrier requirements of the Commercial Energy Codes
BASF manufactures both closed-cell and open-cell spray polyurethane foam products for residential and commercial construction, providing the right SPF system for any type of well-engineered building envelope. The BASF two component application process features a wide range of specially formulated polyurethane spray foam offerings that meet specific site and surface requirements.
Additionally, BASF also offers a number of waterproofing or damp-proof coating materials resulting in high performance, durable BASF SPF Roofing Systems for any climate that stand the test of time.
Due to the technical skill required, these systems must only be applied by trained contractors within BASF's approved applicator network.
SPF is part of the BASF Performance Materials Construction division, which provides better, faster and more cost effective construction solutions. Whether new construction, retrofit or restoration, BASF higher-performing materials improve energy efficiency, increase durability and help speed construction, while also offering a lower lifecycle cost and reduced environmental impact.
